Royal Navy’s Antarctic patrol ship HMS Protector left the Antarctic peninsula after autumn arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and visited Ghana during her time in African waters.
During their seven-day visit to Ghana, Protector’s sailors and Royal Marines showed off the ship and her hi-tech kit to senior government officials, local youngsters and high-ranking military figures and, unusually, hosted a UK Border Force contingent in the training of Ghanaian maritime security forces.
Piracy has been an issue for some time in the neighboring Gulf, while drug traffickers have tried to slip narcotics through the Ghanaian Tema port.
Border Force have a team based in Ghana to assist with training enforcement agencies. The arrival of Protector allowed them to use the ship to provide some authentic board and search instruction to members of the Ghanaian Joint Port Control Unit.
